I am President of Chess.com University, the world's leading online chess-teaching organization. I regularly teach college-like chess courses, teach seminars, and organize events for Chess.com University. I was the sole organizer for the world's first online chess camp which featured 2012 Vice World Chess Champion GM Boris Gelfand as an instructor.

Outside the chess world, I am an educational entrepreneur. I tutor STEM subjects and am working on a STEM tutoring start-up. I am also developing accelerated learning programs for middle schools and high schools in the U.S. and hope to start them by the start of the 2015-2016 school year.

I am also involved with start-ups outside the education world which are all operated by Kairav Enterprises, LLC. During my spare time, I do astrophysics research. Specifically, I study the orbital dynamics of our solar system.

With that said, I am primarily involved in chess and education at the moment and encourage you to contact me if you would like to improve at chess, need help in math and science courses at the K-12 or college level, or are interested in forming any business partnerships or strategic alliances.
